NCAA Division II women's cross country championships

The NCAA Division II women's cross country championships are contested at an annual cross country meet hosted by the NCAA to decide the team and individual national champions of women's intercollegiate cross country running among its Division II members in the United States and Canada.

The championships have been held every November since the NCAA began sponsoring women's sports in 1981 and are usually held at the same time and location as the NCAA Division II men's cross country championships.

The defending national teams champions are Grand Valley State, who won their seventh national title in 2023.

Lindsay Cunningham, representing Winona State, is the reigning individual champion.

Format
The race field included 8 teams in 1981, 11 teams from 1982 to 1992 and 17 teams from 1993 to 1999. Beginning in 2000, the national championship race has included 24 teams. Teams compete in one of eight regional championships to qualify. In addition to the 24 teams, 16 individual runners qualify for the national championship.
